The Secretary of State in relation to England (and Wales and Scotland, so far as relating to regulation 3 of the following Regulations), and the Welsh Ministers in relation to Wales (except so far as relating to regulation 3), have, in accordance with section 2(4) of the Pollution Prevention and Control Act 1999 M1 (“the 1999 Act”), consulted—

M11999 c. 24. Functions of the Secretary of State under or in relation to section 2, so far as exercisable in relation to Wales, were transferred to the National Assembly for Wales, except in relation to offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation, by article 3(1) of the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1958). But this was subject to article 3(2), which provided that, so far as any of those functions are exercisable by the Secretary of State in relation to a cross-border body but which, by their nature, are not functions which can be specifically exercised in relation to Wales, such functions are exercisable by the National Assembly for Wales in relation to that body concurrently with the Secretary of State. Functions of the National Assembly for Wales were transferred to the Welsh Ministers by section 162 of, and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to, the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations implement Council Directive 2011/97/EU (OJ No L 328, 10.12.11, p 49), which amends Council Directive 1999/31/EC on the landfill of waste (OJ No L 182 16.7.99, p 1) (“the Landfill Directive”) as regards specific criteria for the storage of metallic mercury considered as waste.
Article 5(3)(a) of the Landfill Directive prohibits the storage of liquid waste in landfill. Regulation (EC) No 1102/2008 (OJ No L 304, 14.11.08, p 75) (“the Mercury Regulation”) contains a derogation from that prohibition. These Regulations make provision relating to the use of that derogation.
Regulation 2(2) amends the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/675) to replace the definition of the Landfill Directive so as to take account of that Directive's amendment by Council Directive 2011/97/EU. Regulation 2(3) amends those Regulations to enable the regulator to exercise its functions so as to permit the storage of liquid waste in accordance with the Mercury Regulation and to impose obligations to send copies of environmental permits and safety assessments to the Secretary of State.
Regulation 3 amends the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/743) in relation to England, Wales and Scotland to bring sites used for the storage of metallic mercury pursuant to Article 3(1)(b) of the Mercury Regulation within the scope of application of those Regulations.
